Manufacturing Engineer

The High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce. The facility will enable a halving of the lead-time for the design & make of turbine components; develop novel techniques to enable futuredesign styles and manufacturing systems and accelerate cost reduction & casting yield improvement activities. This is a chance to work within a co-located design and manufacturing engineering team within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide rangeof research engineers from the relevant academic fields. Working in partnership with Consilium Recruit they are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer. You will conduct research and improvement activities related to the design and manufacture of turbine components.The HTRC is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and Rolls-Royce and is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for investment casting, machining, and advanced metrology of single crystal components.

Benefits: The MTC leads the way with a superb suite of benefits including; private health insurance with Vitality Health, a highly competitive pension scheme, 33 days holiday (including public holidays), income protection in the event of long term incapacity,and life insurance.

**The Role**

As a Manufacturing Engineer based at our High Temperature Research Centre (HTRC) in Ansty, you will:
Work within our co-located design and manufacturing engineering teams within the HTRC and in close collaboration with a wide range of researchers from the relevant academic fields.
Manufacturing engineers are responsible for the method of manufacture that delivers component requirements and support both process engineering and project delivery tasks. Whilst an engineer may have a process or project focus, they will be able to supportboth functions. This role has a focus on Process Engineering task for the centre’s metrology processes. The ME will be responsible for developing and industrialising our Computer Tomography (CT) measurement methods
Process engineers are primarily accountable for the equipment and process methods used within the HTRC, they drive best practice and continuous improvement into their process area whilst acting as a central point for knowledge management and communication acrossthe HTRC and externally with suppliers, customers and partners. They also play a key role in supporting and liaising with the operational teams ensuring safe and reliable equipment and processes.
Project Engineers understand customer requirements and translate them through consultation into a method of manufacture managing the associated technical package. They create, manage, and deliver the project using planning, risk management and cost tools whilsteffectively managing key stakeholder expectations. They also act to ensure validation and substantiation of the component and manage any arising non-conformance or quality concerns to ensure compliance to specifications and a safe method of manufacture.
You will maintain regular communication across the internal team within the department and engage key customers outside the centre to understand requirements.
You will be able to communicate and exchange ideas effectively and concisely both verbally and in writing. You will be collaborating with colleagues both internally and externally (Operations, Designers, Researchers and Project Teams) to achieve goals and objectivesand seeks and acts on feedback from colleagues.

**The Person**

Degree qualified or demonstrate equivalent technical capability based on practical knowledge and experience
Have sound understanding of manufacturing engineering and component engineering principles

Ideally demonstrate technical knowledge of turbine components and/or process knowledge associated with investment casting and/or machining of turbine components but this is not essential
Have experience with some of the following: CMM, 3D Structure Light, 2D and 3D CT, Ultrasound, Optical 3D measurement, Model Based Definition & 3D Post processing and analysis.
Be equipped with a strong functional skill set (problem solving, programme management, change control, risk management and budgetary control)
